Fay & Sister Sallie @ Woodman, KY  circa 1920

Fay and Sallie were always close.
Many pics show Fay with a gun.
Pics of Sallie usually show a very pleasant facial expression. 

Note pearl handled pistol in Fay's vest pocket, stickpin in tie, dress clothes, Sallie's heavy hemmed skirt, long hair. Sitting in front of well on winter day. Child unknown but probably Sara Ann's girl Clarice.

Left - Fay with Sara Ann's son Woodrow @ Woodman. Another instance of Fay with one of Sara Anne's children. Picture may have been in Maude's possession as there is an X on Woodrow's shirt that she put there to identify Woodrow. 

Right - Beth with Fay's wife Evelyn

Left Fay @ Ritter Mill on Lower Elk - Woodman - Note dark handled pistol in coat pocket

Right - Fay - with no gun? Must be hid

Right - Eillene's kids by Loama Hunt. Believe picture taken on June, 1961 visit Andrew and Reginald made to see Fay. Looks like Andrew's hat on the bed with the kids. They stayed at Eillene's house that night before riding with Eillene in her Jeep over the mountain and down creek bed to Fay's. Fay lived up the hollow from Woodman as the road started a steep accent up the mountain. Fay was digging some coal, raising a few chickens and making some shine for a living.
